My wife and I visited our daughter and her boyfriend in Ann Arbor for a delayed holiday celebration. We chose Vitosha Guest House because we stayed there one other time. The accommodations, for people like us, were outstanding. Our room, the garden room, is large but cozy. We are used to a king size bed at home, but found the double bed fun, cozy and comfortable. The heat in the tiled floor is really nice when visiting during cold weather. I'm not really a breakfast at the table kind of person, so Linda (my wife) kind of has to press me to join her. The food is very well prepared as well as being delicious and varied. The most notable thing we have found during both of our stays is the intangible of having breakfast with other guests who have chosen Vitosha. This stay we met Anna and Jacob. Anna was getting ready to leave for Kenya with a Fullbright scholarship in hand to study creative writing. Jacob works in energy sustainability in the detroit area. Our conversations made the dining experience more than just great food. we had a similar experience the last time we visited Vitosha. For us, Vitosha is a great, great place to stay.
